Today's developments followed a night of terror.
The flames of the burning city of Juarez last night
seemed to have terrified the federal troops holding the
city, and dawn found Navarro and his soldiery ready
to bow to the inevitable.
General Navarro and his twenty-seven officers were
paroled tonight by General Madero. After inviting
them to dinner he announced that if they would promise
on their honor not to leave the city they would have
the liberty of the town. They agreed to do so and are
sleeping at their own headquarters tonight.

the federal dead at nearly fifty and
the rebel loss at about fifteen, with a

SAN ANTONIO Tex.. May 10. A
bolt hole an eighth of an Inch In
diameter bored where It should not
have been In the prong of the "seat
fork" of the army's Curtlss aeroplne,
caused the death of Lieut. Geo. E.
M. Kelly, 30th Infantry, at 7:0
o'clock this morning upon the avia
tion field at the maneuvers camp.
Such is the verdict of a board of of
ficers of the Aero company which In
vestigated the accident.
The board finds the accident was
unavoidable ,due probably to struct
ural weakness of the aeroplane.
Lieutenant Kelly had made a per
fect flight and was lending when the
shock of the contact with the ground
broke the "finger" at the misplac
ed bolt hole and twisted the ma
chine. One of the supporting wires
caught on the engine and threw It
wide open at a speed of 16 miles
an hour. The aeroplane shot for
ward and headed directly for the
tents of the Eleventh infantry. Lieut.
Kelly saw the danger to the occu
pants of the tents and sought to
turn the machine. One of the planes
struck an embankment and toppled
the aeroplane over. Lieut. Kelly was
thrown twenty feet from the wreck
and waa landed on his head. His
neck waa broken and hi skull frac
tured. The accident waa witnessed by
General Carter and hla staff.

Colonel Lee after paying an elo

that "Slavery was the occasion, not

He pointed out the efforts of
